It will be obvious with a close visual, especially since you've been informed. It's magnetic also and I doubt that the OP has a corrosion situation with the plug to insert thread. I believe I realized it when the fellow who was selling the Magnetic DP had misinformation regarding the LT5 thread and I questioned him regarding it. He sent me one to try in my NOS pan to confirm the thread for him. That was a very long time ago. If you have a pan with the windage tray removed it should be more obvious. Mine is an NOS with the windage tray in place and I wouldn't remove mine for inspection.
